Jun 17, 2026

Is your child struggling with anxiety, fear, or constant worry?

More kids than ever are dealing with anxious thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and stress, and many parents feel unsure how to help without making things worse.

In Episode 299 of The Family Meeting Podcast, we talk about how parents can wisely support children who struggle with anxiety while creating emotional safety, resilience, and healthy coping patterns at home.

In this episode, we cover:

• Common signs of anxiety in children and teens.
• How anxiety affects behavior, emotions, and relationships.
• What parents often do that unintentionally increases anxiety.
• Practical ways to help your child feel safe and supported.
• How to teach emotional regulation and healthy thinking.
• The importance of calm, steady parenting.
• Biblical encouragement for fear, worry, peace, and trust.

Your child doesn’t need shame for their anxiety. They need parents who are calm, emotionally safe, and willing to walk with them through it.

If your child struggles with fear, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, or anxious behaviors, this episode will give you practical tools and biblical encouragement to help them navigate anxiety in a healthy way.
